The Lord Demon King is Unfathomable!

Chapter 1019 - 312: The Demon King's Duties

At this moment, Sarah returned behind Luo Yan and reported softly.

"The disturbance in the western district has been quelled, and the demons involved are still alive... but just in case, I temporarily disabled the traps there."

"Very good."

Luo Yan nodded approvingly.

At this time, Egger noticed the demon woman behind Luo Yan and blinked curiously, asking softly.

"Who is she?"

"Sarah, my subordinate—"

"Taufu! The Fifth Demon General of the Demon King, the owner of the most ancient dragon bloodline!" A young dragon emerged from Sarah's arms, coughed forcefully, interrupting Luo Yan's words halfway.

It folded its wings like a little chick and made a self-assured gentlemanly gesture, which startled Egger, who was unprepared.

He hadn't noticed just now—

That under Sarah's cloak, there hid a giant dragon?!

Even if it's a hatchling...

A slightly displeased Luo Yan shut Taufu up with just a look, then continued speaking to Egger.

"Don't mind this one, her head's not quite right."

Taufu glared with wide eyes, wanting to rebuke but couldn't open her mouth, so she could only gnash her teeth in frustration.

Egger looked at Luo Yan with admiration, unable to contain his deep respect and awe.

It's well-known—

The nature of dragons is rebellious and untamed, almost impossible to subdue later on.

To gain the loyalty of a dragon hatchling, there's only one way, and that is to infiltrate the dragon's lair to steal the dragon egg and then hatch it!

Newly hatched dragon hatchlings will recognize the first living being they see as their father, and only this way can they be tamed!

And given a dragon's temperament, stealing a dragon egg while it's alive is almost impossible, and even if stolen, one would face endless revenge and pursuit from the dragon.

And now, not only did Senior Luo Yan steal the dragon egg, but also safely hatched it!

There's only one explanation—

He defeated the dragon guarding the egg completely!

He never imagined that his most respected senior quietly accomplished such a legendary feat as "slaying a dragon", which only happens in epics!

That's simply incredible!!!

Seeing Egger's eyes sparkling, Sarah inexplicably felt a bit uncomfortable but couldn't tell why, she just unconsciously moved a bit closer to Luo Yan.

Her small movement didn't escape Egger's notice; meeting those watchful eyes made him realize she misunderstood something.

Lord Demon God as witness!

His feelings for Senior Luo Yan were purely admiration and respect, nothing beyond friendship, and certainly nothing possible beyond that, okay?!

But just as he was about to explain his mixed emotions, he suddenly realized something even more astonishing.

Wait—

Could it be that Sarah and his senior... were in that kind of relationship?!

Egger's face flushed instantly.

No matter how slow he was, he realized the eyes didn't hold the same pure respect as his own.

There was something else in those glances!

Egger swallowed nervously, and when he looked at Luo Yan again, it wasn't just admiration from a junior to a senior, but also a sense of wonder from a different species perspective.

No wonder even the Enchanting Demon admired his senior—

He wasn't surprised that Miss Sarah would be attracted to those reliable, gentle shoulders. After all, if he were a woman, he might have fallen for them in no time, and it wouldn't be unusual if something indeed happened.

But, what about Miss Padric?!

Though Hell doesn't have as many dogmas and rules as surface humans, would the Padric Family accept such a thing?

Egger hesitated for a while, deciding not to tell Mia about this sad affair.

Though his father often taught him—if something could break the Padric family's defenses, then go ahead and do it—but he didn't think that was right.

Feeling that this guy was presuming something impolite, Luo Yan reached out and knocked on his forehead.

The speed was so fast that even the Silver Level Enchanting Demon couldn't react until the pain hit, causing a cry of "ouch".

"... Are you listening to me?"

"Yes, yes, I am!" Egger, who hadn't heard a thing, nodded hurriedly, acting as if he had absorbed all of it, just like being called by Professor Enos.

Luo Yan, however, wasn't as sadistic as Professor Enos, who often made students wet their pants in class.

Despite seeing Egger not absorbing anything, Luo Yan couldn't help but sigh.

He somewhat knew what this guy was doing during class.

Facing those guilty eyes, Luo Yan steadied himself, directly skipping the "beginner tutorial", and instructed.

"Tomorrow, you will lead a team to attack Withered Wood Port."

"Yes! I'll definitely—Wait, attack Withered Wood Port?!" Realizing in a flash what he had just agreed to, Egger's face turned pale instantly, his thin lips trembling slightly, "Me?! Attack Withered Wood Port?! Where General Hamoldon is stationed?"

The legendary general of the eastern front, Hamoldon!

The Imperial Griffin that defeated General Sebes!

Never mind the strategy and tactics—

Speaking purely of Extraordinary Power, he was not even on the same level as that guy!

Luo Yan raised an eyebrow.

"Are you scared?"

He's not one to force someone to do something they couldn't; if Egger had aspirations to become stronger, he was more than happy to support his old classmate and friend.

But if he genuinely lacked the heart of a strong person, pushing him to a higher position would only harm him.

Egger almost instinctively nodded but suddenly met a pair of earnest eyes.

And right at this moment, this imaginative person suddenly recalled something else.

Speaking of which—

When Senior Luo Yan first faced Duke Campbell, he seemed to be just a Bronze!

Forget about Duke Campbell.

Back then, Senior Luo Yan probably couldn't even beat himself; even knights under the Duke could easily crush him!

Yet he didn't back down!

He not only withstood the pressure from within the maze but also twisted the fractured Maze of Thunder County into a single entity, to the extent that the Dragon family admitted they made a mistake, even shamelessly greedy to reclaim the trouble everyone once discarded.

No matter how powerful General Hamoldon was, there was evidently a huge gap compared to a true legendary bloodline.

Moreover, he himself was at the Silver Level!

In terms of strength and courage discrepancy, his gap with General Hamoldon was nothing compared to that between Senior Luo Yan and Duke Campbell!

Egger gritted his teeth, stubbornly lifted his head.

"I'm... not scared! Egger will ensure the mission is completed!"

At this moment, he embraced the resolve to be reborn by facing death.

He wanted to become a manly demon, wanted to shed his cowardice... and this was his first step forward!

Even though this guy had less than a one in ten thousand chance of dying, seeing Egger muster up his courage, Luo Yan still nodded approvingly.

Good.

Very spirited!

At this moment, he finally saw some manly essence in him... it seems the year of hardship wasn't in vain.

"As taught by the Demon King Academy, spreading fear among surface humans is a Demon King's most crucial daily task, and humans who fear you will make your maze stronger, while the power gathered by fear will become the momentum helping you spread more fear. However, if you, in turn, fear your enemy, you will have no chance to overcome them... You can mess up anything else, but this is the one thing you absolutely cannot get wrong."

"I am quite pleased you gathered your courage; this is a commendable start.."

Looking at the Egger standing tall, Luo Yan patted his shoulder, switched to a softer tone, and continued speaking.

"Also, don't be too nervous, relax a bit, I'll have my subordinates accompany you tomorrow—"

"Just consider it as getting familiar with the work of a Demon King."
